  1. I believe there were similar dissenters/protesting when seat belts were mandated. Big difference is that if you don’t wear a seatbelt, you’re only harming yourself. My risk of car accident death is unchanged by your decision. That’s not the same with the mask mandate
  2. Pritzker mentioned more restrictions during his news conference yesterday, and I would be almost certain that my region (region 1) will be the first to have further mitigation restrictions. Yesterday we had a mind boggling positivity rate of 15.8% with 633 new cases. The university continues to be a hot spot of cases, and heading into the holidays will be a time bomb of new cases. "Sorry I gave you COVID grandma, but that turkey and stuffing really is to die for."
  3. And with deaths being a lagging indicator, the uptick in cases will translate to a significant upswing in deaths soon.
  4. I believe that takes IL over 10,000 deaths total.
  5. Looks like we may get some baller late fall weather to start the month, who knows from there.
  6. Being a lifelong Illinois resident, I remember being so confused the first time I traveled to the southern Caribbean during the summer and the sun set at 5:30pm. I had no concept that latitude/daylight savings time pushed our sunset back so far during the summer months.
  7. Solid flakes this morning. Had to break out the scraper to clear the windshield.
  8. No kidding, need a coat to leave for work this morning, a light jacket coming home for lunch, and shorts for the ride home
  9. Picked up nearly 2.5" of rain overnight with some quality boomers.
  10. I don’t want to hear any winter complaining from the central Iowa folks. They have had a couple of high end/abnormal events lately. Time to share the wealth.
  11. Its 2020. Plan on your highs in the teens for Halloween.
  12. Central Illinois near Cerro Gordo. Someone either got the truck stuck or smoked out the engine...
  13. Ballin' from Halloween to Valentines Day. Then Morch 2.0
  14. Man, I knew they were dry, but that is insane.
  15. Nice widespread heavy frost this morning. Got down to 31.
  16. I hear you. I am in a "mid-summer" like schedule of checking in every few days, only to find 1-2 posts in a couple weather related threads and so many in the COVID thread you could not possibly keep up. Its been a long time since I have seen the "go to work and come home to 12 unread pages" of storm talk. Hopefully we have an active winter.
  17. Those hybrid clippers seem to always overperform as well, at least locally. I will happily skip the models constantly shitting the bed and each storm becoming a strung out piece of garbage.
  18. As long as we get out of the Late Oct-Early Nov storm, 2 months of nothing, then winter until May pattern; I will be happy.
  19. Yeah, we jumped to sweatshirt weather in a hurry
  20. At 2.00” on the nose of much needed rain today.
